Formerly the only remaining Watch house at the time of Guards! Guards!, Treacle Mine Road Watch house was Sam Vimes' first station. It was subsequently burnt down by a vengeful dragon, having had an arrow shot at its "voonerables" by Sergeant Colon.

The Treacle Mine Road station house also figures prominently as a central location in Night Watch. Having been pitched back in time for thirty years, having had to rejoin the Watch (not quite at the bottom) under the assumed identity of a dead man, and having encountered his own much younger self, Samuel Vimes' sense of déjà-vu is not helped by his being stationed at what he thought had been a long-draggoned Watch house. However, his intimate knowledge of its weak points, and his practiced skill at making the Ramkin Residence assassin-proof comes in handy, as he is able to identify and booby-trap the obvious means of forced entry against the Cable Street Particulars.

Returning to his present and apprehending Carcer in the Small Gods' Cemetery, with Vetinari a concealed and appreciative onlooker, Vimes is able to screw the concession out of the Patrician that the Treacle Mine Road Watch House be rebuilt, as good as old.
